Chapter 13: The Return of a Vampire Part 2
Disclaimer: I don't own Rosario+Vampire or the Legacy of Kain series, my OC though belongs to me.
Reaver and Vampire
Tsukune and his friends glare at Fred and his men.
Fred grinned, "Kai and Amy Steinberg, it's nice to see you again. Ah, and I see that Tsukune and his little harem are with you."
Amy replied, "You are going to pay for taking my sister away! I will make sure you die a slow and painful death!"
Kai added, "You have crossed the line big time, Fred and now you are going to pay for it."
Fred titled his head, "Is that so? You first have to get past my men here." Kai and the others start picking their opponents.
Kai asked, "So, who faces who?"
Inner Moka stepped up, "Tsukune and I will take care of giant chrome dome in front of us."
Ruby said, "Yukari and I will deal with the sorcerers."
Kurumu cried, "The shape shifter guy is all mine."
Mizore said, "Ken and I have dibs on the vampire hunter."
Kai smirked, "Then I guess that leaves me and Amy with Fred. Let's make it out of this fight alive. Good luck, everyone." With a wave of his hand, Fred's men move out to face their selected opponents. Kai and Amy get into their battle stances as Fred drew his glaive. Amy switches to her vampire form. The Blood Reaver was strapped to Amy's back as a backup weapon in case her first one was destroyed in battle.
Amy said, "You won't be killing anymore members of my family, Fred."
Fred replied, "Just because it's two on one does not mean you have the advantage." Amy is the first to attack she swings her claymore in a vertical slash intent on cutting Fred in half but Fred blocked it and Kai jumped over Amy to launch a surprise attack but Fred kicks him away.
Amy cried, "Kai!" When she looks forward, she barely dodged a swing that was targeting her head and the attack cuts off strands of Amy's black hair, surprising her and she failed to avoid a fist that crashed into her face. Amy is sent careening back before her body collided with the ground and she lands next to Kai.
Kai growled, "This won't be an easy fight." Kai spots Fred aiming his hand out and a purple beam began gathering energy then the two dodge it as soon as the beam was fired. Suddenly Fred vanishes from sight and appeared behind the two siblings and grabbed their heads then bashed them together before he vanishes again. Kai and Amy hold their heads in severe agony.
Kai grunted, "What the hell is your head made of, Amy?"
Amy replied, "I could ask you the same thing about yours." After 2 minutes the pain from their heads colliding with each other ceases and the two Nosgoth Vampires search for Fred, soon Kai detects his yokai and raises the Fire Reaver over his head to block an attack as Fred tried to behead Kai and Amy's foot connects with Fred's face and broke his nose with a sharp crack. Blood pours out and Fred held his nose in agony. He uses a healing spell to fix his nose and as this is going on, he thinks back to the strange events that have been happening prior to this.
Flashback 5 weeks ago
Fred was training for the rematch when all of a sudden the sky darkened as storm clouds gathered and it thundered with lightning. The lightning bolts hit the ground at random spots near his location. One struck the ground very close to him and made Fred cover his face. When he lowered his arms he saw a demon apparition materialize.
Fred asked, "What do you want?"
The demon replied, "Your day of judgment will come very soon, Fred Helens. The executioner will appear in 5 weeks to punish you."
Fred demanded, "Who is it? Tell me now!"
The demon laughed evilly, "You will soon find out. This is no escape for you, Fred. Prepare for your death!" The ghost disappeared and the storm clouds break up then vanish. This was only the first of many messages to come.
A week later he received another. This one was a written message.
Fred opened the envelope that it was in and read it, "Only 4 weeks left before your day of judgment is upon you. Nobody will able to save you. A hooded female figure will appear to banish you straight to hell. Your dragon strength won't stop her she won't be showing you any mercy."
'Someone is playing mind games with me.' He thought in irritating. The mind games persisted for the remaining 3 weeks and the final week they stop, much to Fred's relief.
End of flashback
So far this hooded female figure hasn't shown up and Fred was slightly curious to know the figure's identity. Fred failed to see Amy throw a roundhouse kick to the side of his face this made him stagger back before his equilibrium returns. Amy and Kai decide to fight with their hands and feet. Kai popped his knuckles in preparation for the fight.
Fred smirked, "So you want to fight the traditional way, huh? That's fine by me." Kai throws a series of punches but Fred blocked them Amy snuck up behind him and trips him to the ground. She then straddles him before punching his face and throwing a head butt. Fred tosses Amy over him and he got back up. The redhead swiftly closes the distance between him and Kai and delivered rapid kicks that take Kai by surprise, Fred finished the combo with a powerful kick to the gut. Kai sat up and wipes the blood from his lip. A grin appears on his face. This was getting good.
Inner Moka and Tsukune were having difficulty knocking their opponent down. The 7 foot bald headed giant scratched the place on his shoulder where Inner Moka kicked him like it was a bug bite.
Tsukune growled, "Man, no matter how powerful our attacks are this guy hardly feels it! It's like he is made out of granite or something!"
Inner Moka replied, "As much as I hate to admit it but I agree with you, Tsukune. This guy is not like any normal human being."
The giant man laughed, "You are right, vampire I'm not like an ordinary human being. I have had genetic augmentations planted into me. My bones are thicker, making them less vulnerable to fracture and their density are much higher. This makes them much stronger than steel. Face it, you two can't beat me!"
Inner Moka bared her fangs, "Shut up, you fool. I'll make you know your place!" Tsukune and Inner Moka charge forward and launch their most powerful kick, hoping that it would take their opponent's head off but they hit solid bone, the giant laughed at their futile attempts and knocks them away with a mighty swing of his huge arm. To the two super vampires it feels they were hit by a brick wall. Tsukune and Inner Moka look at each other and nod. Tsukune uses his powers and chains appear out of the ground and latched onto the giant's arms and legs. He immediately tries to break free which only tightened the chains' hold on him.
Tsukune grunted, "Moka-san, hurry up! I don't know how much longer I can hold him." Inner Moka focuses her yokai into her fire dark gift the moment her red eyes snap open, Inner Moka threw her arms up and a fountain of fire erupts from the ground and envelops their bald headed giant opponent. Inner Moka increases the intensity of the fire. When the fire fountain dissipates, all they could see was smoke when it vanished, Tsukune and Inner Moka's eyes widen in horror. The giant was standing there unharmed, his flesh steaming but it didn't burn.
Inner Moka wondered, "That was my most powerful attack of my dark gift and yet he has no burns on him, why?"
The giant replied, "I told you before the genetic augmentations make me invincible. Do not kid yourselves you have no chance in beating me!" He grabs them with one of his hands and began crushing the life out of them. Tsukune had to think of something fast if they wanted to survive.
Tsukune said, "Moka-san, cover your ears." The silver-haired beauty somehow manages to free her arms and covered her ears. With a nod from her, Tsukune took in a deep breath and then released a loud T-Rex roar that hurt their opponent's ears and he released them in order hold his ears as the noise rang inside his head.
The giant said, "Ah, my ears! You two will die when my hearing returns." Tsukune and Inner Moka take the opportunity to hide and rethink their strategy. They hide deep within the forest.
Inner Moka cursed, "Damn it! No one has been able to survive my most devastating kick!"
Tsukune nodded, "Indeed, normally your opponent would be out cold or possibly dead just from that one kick." Inner Moka smiled at that, her boyfriend had acknowledged her for her superhuman strength because he's seen it many times. Tsukune wonders how the others are fairing.
Ruby and Yukari were being outmatched by the sorcerers, they were more experienced in summoning and the spells they knew made Ruby and Yukari look like an amateurs. But they wouldn't quit fighting. The sphere in Ruby's wand began to glow as her aura surrounds her.
She said, "Come forth, my servants. Banish these fools from the realm of the living!" A huge swarm of mutant Venus Flytraps emerged and head for their victims but the sorcerers shoot a firestorm and burn the plants, making the two witches gasp in horror.
'If this keeps up, we'll die!' Yukari thought with dread.
The first sorcerer mocked, "Is that all you got, witch? I expected more from you. Your master must have been foolish to take a weakling like you under her wing!"
Ruby growled, "My master was a good person to me! She didn't resent me like the humans did!" The sphere glowed brighter as Ruby's yokai increased and then she summons fire that take the shape of snakes. With a point of her wand, the fire snakes slither their way forward but the enemy counters with a water spell.
Kai sat on the ground while Amy was leaning over panting, their yokai were almost completely depleted and their healing abilities are working in overdrive to heal their wounds then suddenly Fred slams a cinder block onto Kai's left knee, he took pleasure in hearing the young vampire scream in agony. Amy's claymore is shattered so she tossed it aside and the useless weapon vanishes in a shower of sparkling lights she then drew the Reaver and runs toward Fred, dodging projectiles and she swung the blade only to have it being blocked by Fred's glaive.
'I better make this attack count because this is my last shot.' Amy thought. She gathers her yokai into her left fist which was covered in a purple aura she threw her fist back at first to gain momentum then thrusts it into Fred's face at full speed, sending the redhead teen back several yards before he came to a stop. Amy then falls to one knee, her yokai completely spent. Kai limps over and sat down because of the pain that is plaguing his left knee.
Amy asked, "Did we do it? Is Fred really dead?"
Kai shook his head, "I don't know." Their answer came in the form of a psychotic laughter as Fred rose to his feet and rubbed the area on his cheek where Amy punched him.
He said, "That was some punch, Amy. That felt like I was hit by a runaway train. Unfortunately, it didn't shatter my skull and that must have used up all of your remaining yokai. You two are finished! You will be joining your sister in the afterlife! Good-bye Amy and Kai Steinberg!" A ball of demonic energy begins to accumulate in Fred's free hand and grew bigger with each pulse.
Amy shouted, "Renee, please help us!"
Fred laughed, "She won't be able to help because I killed her! That attack you launched was your last chance and now it's time to kiss your dreams good-bye!" Before he launched the ball of destruction, storm clouds appear out of nowhere and it began to thunder and lightning. Fred wasn't the only one seeing this phenomenon but all of the others are mesmerized by the spectacle. Tsukune and Inner Moka jump from tree top to tree top as they move closer. Suddenly the lightning bolts begin behaving erratically and their intervals between strikes become less and then they strike the ground and start carving something into it. The light is so bright that the spectators had to cover their eyes. When the lightning bolts stop, they uncover them to see what image was carved into the ground. It was glowing blue and had the shape of a familiar dragon. Plus it was pulsing with untold quantities of energy.
Kai gasped, "It can't…it can't be!" A pillar of light falls down from the storm clouds and powerful gusts of wind blow from the sheer pressure of it. It landed where Ken and Mizore were. Sparkles of light also fall and cover Kai and Amy.
Amy blinked, "This light it's restoring my yokai."
Kai added, "My knee, it doesn't hurt anymore." The pillar of light then violently and spectacularly explodes, revealing the occupant. The figure was clearly feminine, she was wearing a black hooded overcoat with a cape attached to it held in place by a series of clasps around her chest, it didn't have any sleeves so her slender arms were visible, the overcoat had some decorations on it along with red highlights, she wore an emerald green birthstone around her neck, half of her face was hidden by the hood, her arms were covered in dark blue chainmail and the gauntlets that Amy had around her waist began to react the hooded figure, Amy unclasped them and they attach themselves to the figure's arms. It still thundered and lightning flashed. The hooded figure walks into the prison of mirrors that Ken and Mizore are struggling against their opponents. Soon she comes to their location. All four of the fighters see her.
The first sorcerer said, "Ah, some fresh meat."
The second nodded, "Indeed. Let's hope you can prove to be more entertaining than those witches. Come on, girl." The mysterious figure didn't say anything, instead she just throws her arms up and a blast of supernatural energy destroys the entire mirror prison with the sound of shattering glass making the sorcerers and Mizore and Ken gasp.
The first sorcerer, "Who is this girl? I've never seen a blast of energy like that!" The two magical beings try to run at their adversary but suddenly find themselves frozen in place. The hooded fighter used a finger to draw something and a seal appears beneath the sorcerers and then she throws her other arm down and lightning descends from the clouds and electrocuted them to death. When the electrocution ended, there was nothing left but the charred bodies of the sorcerers. Ken and Mizore looked at her in awe after that display of power. They can't even begin to imagine what it would feel like being on the receiving of that attack and hopefully they never will. Then the hooded figure turned around to look at them.
Ken said, "Thank you for saving us." Their savior just nodded and then teleported to where Tsukune and Inner Moka are. The two super vampires were battered and bruised from the beating their juggernaut of an opponent was giving them. This man seemed to be impervious to pain; he hardly lost any of his footing after receiving Inner Moka's most powerful kick. Tsukune tries to get up but pain was beyond his imagination. The giant throws a punch and Tsukune and Inner Moka brace for the impact but it didn't come. When the two looked, they see another fist colliding with their opponent's, they also hear the crack of bone and the giant was screaming in pain as he realized that his hand is likely broken in several places.
He glared at the newcomer, "You will be a bloody stain on my hand, little one." He slams his good hand toward the ground but the hooded fighter grabs Tsukune and Inner Moka and jumped out of the way as the giant's hand hits the ground, making it shake violently. The challenger places the two silver-haired beings down and jumped into the air and with a lightning fast swing of her hand, she creates a burst of air that was as sharp as a blade and beheads the giant. Blood spews from his severed neck as his body fell to the ground. Fred focused on the task at hand and throws that ball of energy at Amy and Kai their eyes widen in terror as the ball of death approached but it was dispersed by a gauntlet. Kai and Amy look at the hooded stranger with their mouths hung open. They have never seen anyone move that fast! The Reaver finds itself being called to the enigma figure and it moves toward her. Her right hand gripped the hilt firmly. Fred runs to her and used his speed to launch a swift attack but it's blocked, surprising him. When their weapons collide and they did a test of strength, Fred realizes that his opponent had only one hand on the sword's hilt.
'Hmph, this one's confident.' He thought with a smirk. All of a sudden she pushed him back and placed her other hand on the hilt and got into a familiar fighting stance with the blade being pointed down toward the ground like Kain does. Amy felt something in her chest.
Kai asked, "Is something wrong, Amy?"
Amy nodded, "For some reason I just felt a sense of relief hitting my heart." Fred uses swift strikes to try and overwhelm his opponent but she kept up with him, they were moving so fast that Kai could barely keep up with them using his eyes. The female fighter punches Fred in the face and sends him crashing into the ground. The redhead got up and glares at her.
He growled, "Who are you?" The challenger looks at Amy and Kai, debating if she should let them know who it was. She decides to go ahead with it. She places the Reaver on the ground and reached for the hood and quickly throws it back, completely revealing her face. She heard Amy and Kai gasp. She had long dark blue hair and hazel brown eyes and she saw Fred's golden eyes widen in shock and disbelief.
Kai asked, "R-Renee?"
Fred exclaimed, "You're dead! I killed you! You're not real!" He slowly advances to Renee, telling himself over and over again that this was only his mind playing tricks on him. The moment his hand touched Renee's chest she throws lefts and rights forcing Fred to cover up. Renee quickly undid the clasps to her hooded overcoat/cape and removes the garment to reveal that she was wearing dark blue chainmail covered with black battle armor with red highlights around her chest, shoulders and legs, a matching pair of gloves and bronze brown boots (think of Kain's starting costume from Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain after he is resurrected as a vampire). She picks the Reaver back up again and launched herself at Fred. Fred blocks the attack that was aimed at his chest and Renee kicked him in the gut hard, causing the redhead to fall to his knees clenching his gut. A small grin appeared on Renee's face.
Amy said, "Incredible, we barely managed to hurt Fred but Renee brought him down to his knees just from that kick!"
Fred asked, "What kind of strength was that? I've never felt a kick that painful in my life!"
Renee said, "You wanna know why? It's because during my time in the Spectral Realm, I have been doing training! As a result my yokai has increased to magnitudes that the human mind can't even begin to comprehend."
Fred smirked, "In case you have forgotten I have been doing training as well."
Renee replied, "Your power pales in comparison to mine. This fight is perfect to test out some of the abilities that I have obtained." She does a vicious uppercut and this made Fred release a roar of annoyance. Amy tosses the Time fragment to Renee and a blue aura covers the Reaver.
'With this fourth and final fragment, the Balance Emblem is complete at last. All that remains is for me to combine the wraith Reaver with its physical twin to create the Soul Reaver.' The moment Fred saw the Reaver absorb the Time fragment his face turns red as he realized that his plans were now ruined.
He screamed, "You bitch! I'll kill you!" He runs at her in a blind rage but only to be met with Renee's boot. The two exchange blows and Renee blocked every one of his and her strikes were effective, they arrive at the place where the old dorms are. Renee slams Fred's skull right into the brick wall of one of the dorms then drives it through a window cutting his face open. Fred kicks her away and transformed into his dragon form. Renee looked at him with a calm expression. Kai and Amy approached her and Renee asked Amy to hold on to the Reaver. She morphs into her Blue Eyes White Dragon form and with a mighty flap of her wings she takes to the sky. The two collide and roll over as they fell to the ground, creating a huge crater and sent rocks flying in all directions but Kai cut down all of the rocks that were heading his way. Renee stomps on Fred's chest right where his black heart was and was about to bite his head off but Fred disappears. Renee spits the rocks in her mouth out and searched for him. Fred slowly flew in behind her quietly and thought he had Renee but then he feels Renee wrap her tail around his neck and slams him to the ground before he is thrown against the dorm's brick wall. Renee opened her mouth and the crackle of electricity could be heard as it begins to collect then she fired her White Lightning. It was a lot more powerful than it was previously because it carried strong wings that blew any loose material around. The beam collides with the building and destroyed virtually all of it. For a few minutes there was no movement from the rubble then a minute later the debris is sent in all direction to reveal an injured Fred though his regenerative ability kicked in and healed his wounds.
Renee wondered, "Still not convinced that I'm not real, Fred? Look here, I have another ability that I've gained." A blue-white aura enveloped her and when it vanishes it revealed that Renee's new dragon form had two additional dragon heads.
Fred snickered, "So you have two more heads, so what? That still won't be enough to stop me." He fired his Ray of Blackness only to have it being countered by Renee's Neutron Blast. Her three dragon heads fired a beam of blue lightning that converged into a single massive beam. The two beams fight for dominance and then explode.
Renee stated, "This isn't the only new dragon form I have." She transforms again this time her body took on a more metallic appearance, her wings replaced her arms, had blue spheres on her wings, chest, on the top of her head, and legs and had black channels. Her body was still colored blue. Amy and Kai were captivated by the sight of their revived sister.
Amy said, "Wow, look at that. It's beautiful!"
Kai nodded, "Yeah that is one impressive dragon form." Fred blasts Renee with his Ray of Blackness again but then he noticed that those black channels were absorbing the energy and transferred it to the blue spheres on Renee's body. Eventually, enough energy is collected and the channels begin to glow a bright blue and Fred was flabbergasted by what happened. Renee stares at him with cold and hateful eyes then she fires her Ionic Blast, further enhanced by the gathered energy, at Fred from point-blank range and the attack is so powerful that it blew off the armor on Fred's body and inflicting near fatal wounds on him. Fred falls on his back and coughed up blood, he lifts his head up and saw Renee back in her Blue Eyes White Dragon form and powering up her White Lightning. After reaching 100% she unleashes the beam of destruction at her opponent and Fred releases a death cry as he exploded in a giant fireball. Renee roars not only in victory but also to let everyone know that she was back. She shifts to her human appearance wearing her school uniform. The hooded overcoat/cape is called to her and she makes it disappear with a snap of her fingers and Kai hands the sheath over so Renee could strap it to her back and placed the Reaver inside it. Tsukune and the others arrive to see their friend standing there in the flesh. Yukari and Ruby use a healing spell to help Kurumu recover from her injuries with her fight with that shape shifter guy. The gang is surprised by Renee's return. The storms clouds disperse and it became sunny again.
Tsukune asked, "Renee is that really you?"
Renee smiled, "The one and only. Did you miss me?" Her response was the gang having tears fall from their eyes and Amy enveloping her in a strong embrace like she was never going to let go.
'Yep, they really did miss me.' Renee thought as she wrapped her arms around Amy.
Amy sobbed, "Please, don't leave us like that again, Renee!"
Renee caressed her sister's black hair in a soothing manner, "Don't worry, Amy. I'm not leaving you this time, I promise." Renee laid her head on top of Amy's as she lets her older sister cry with a smile on Renee's face. Kai was also having difficulty controlling his tears he was just so overwhelmed with relief and joy that Renee was walking amongst them again. Kurumu went over and embraced her Mate of Fate as she cried with him. Renee soon felt Amy stop crying and looked at her with a bright smile on her face. The gang returns to the Newspaper Club room and Renee asked what happened during her absence. Amy explained everything by the time she was finished, Renee was surprised.
Amy blushed, "And that's about it."
Renee said, "So you finally made love to Kai! Kurumu bravo, the same thing goes for you Tsukune, Moka, Ken, and especially you Amy." She applauded them. The said group blushed.
Amy said, "What about you? Did you make love to Tsukune?"
Renee nodded, "Yes, I did. Back when we were at the mansion in Nosgoth."
Moka asked, "So, Renee can you please tell us what kind of training you were doing in this Spectral Realm?" Inside the rosario Inner Moka was curious as well.
Renee raised an eyebrow, "You want to know?" Seeing the group nod, she sighed, "Okay. Well, here's what happened."
Flashback
Renee and Raziel were currently doing a sparring match. Renee gave Raziel everything she had but Raziel came out victorious. With each passing day, Renee could feel her yokai growing in strength and in turn, further enhancing her dark gifts.
Raziel said, "You are progressing well, Renee. No one has been able to last this long against me."
Renee chuckled, "That's vampire stamina for you."
Raziel crossed his arms, "There's really not more I can teach you."
Renee said, "Hold up, I want to focus on my dragon form!"
The wraith titled his head, "Dragon form?"
Renee nodded, "My father was a dragon, that's why I can change into one. I wasn't aware of it until I turned into one for the first time. I want to enhance my dragon form, make it stronger."
Raziel said, "Okay, I think we can do that." They begin that training session. Three months later Renee learned all that she could from Raziel and she could somehow sense that her friends were struggling against their opponents. Raziel said that he was going to do a ritual as a reward for all of Renee's hard work and determination in the training. Renee was currently sitting in the middle of a symbol and was bare of any clothing from the waist up since Raziel told her that she needed to remove her shirt and bra for a part of the ritual. She looked left and right and saw the spirits of the original Vampire Guardians that once served the Pillars. Out of the corner of her eye, Renee saw Raziel pick up the bowl that had the red liquid and stirred it. She then felt him start moving an object that resembled a paint brush (I don't know what people use in rituals or believe in the supernatural) on her bare back.
Renee shivered, "That's cold."
Raziel explained, "This symbol I'm painting on your back will help you better withstand attacks that are filled with Glyph magic. It won't make you invulnerable to it but it'll reduce the damage you receive from it. The stuff that I'm using to paint this symbol will fade in a few days but the effects will remain." He places the bowl with the red liquid down and picks up the one filled with the blue liquid and paints it onto her upper right arm.
Renee chuckled, "You know, I can't help but feel like this is starting to resemble voodoo magic." The blue liquid changes into some sort of mark.
Raziel said, "To complete this mark, you need to place some of your own blood onto it. Think of it as sort of a pact with me." Renee slit her wrist and let some of her blood drip onto the mark, it glowed blue as it accepted the blood. The cut on her wrist healed instantly.
Renee said, "It's done."
Raziel stated, "Until the Soul Reaver is created again, this mark will serve as a way of summoning creatures from the Spectral Realm including me."
Renee's eyes lit up, "Really? I can summon you or any of these nightmarish creatures to help me in battle if I'm being outnumbered?" When she saw Raziel nod, she was jumping and screaming on the inside.
Raziel said, "It's time for you to return to the Material Realm."
Renee asked, "But how? My body isn't here."
Raziel cried, "When you disappeared in those sparkles of blue light, it also preserved your body. All you have to do is focus on making it appear." Renee nodded and concentrated on making her body appear, a minute later it shows up laying on the ground perfectly preserved with no signs of decay. Renee lies down into it and the spirits of the original Vampire Guardians began to recite incantations to allow her soul to reside in its shell again. Renee could feel her heart starting to beat and the stab wound in her stomach healed without leaving a scar.
"Make Fred pay for his sins when you return to the realm of the living, Renee!" Raziel said as his voice faded. The next thing Renee hears is the screeching of bats and she feels herself lying on grass. She opened her eyes and saw a clear blue sky. She gets to her feet and discovers that she was in the physical world. She also looked to examine herself and noticed she was wearing a hooded overcoat/cape and underneath it was dark blue chainmail and black battle armor with red highlights. She was smiling brightly as she realized that she was in the realm of the living again. All of a sudden she could feel her blood hunger rising to the surface, she was so ecstatic about being alive again that she had forgotten about her thirst. She moved out in search of food. After a little while she spots some Vampire Hunters ahead of her. She licked her lips and pulled the hood down over her face and began sneaking up on her prey. She hid behind a tree and grabbed one of them and quickly snapped his neck then began feasting on his blood. After draining him dry, she dropped his lifeless body but her thirst wasn't satisfied she needed more. She drank from all of her victims and finished sucking the blood out of her last victim. Her hunger was now satisfied.
'Ah, that's better!' Renee thought as she wiped the remaining blood off her lips. She turned around to look at the dead bodies and sweat dropped.
She said, "Wow, I drank from 15 Vampire Hunters! I guess my craving for human blood was a lot more intense than I originally thought because I never drank from that many people before." Renee sensed that her friends were having difficulty fighting their opponents, "My friends aren't doing too good I better get to their location before it's too late."
She heads to the place where Tsukune and the others were fighting Fred and his lackeys.
End of flashback
Renee said, "And that's what happened." Tsukune and the others had the mouths hung open.
Kai cried, "Whoa!"
Amy added, "My thoughts exactly! Looks like you were enjoying yourself in the Spectral Realm."
Renee chuckled, "You have no idea, Amy. Raziel's training was far more intense and drove me beyond exhaustion when I ended just a day's worth! It would make Kain's training look like a joke. I'm surprised that my muscles aren't huge!"
Kurumu asked, "What kept you going?"
Renee answered, "My family and friends."
Mizore stated, "But the training was worth it."
Renee nodded, "You're right. I never thought you and Inner Moka would get your asses kicked that badly, that giant must have been quite a formidable opponent."
Tsukune chuckled, "He was. To tell you the truth my body still feels like it's been hit by steamroller." Inside the rosario, Inner Moka scoffed and crossed her arms over her chest after hearing Renee's comment.
Renee asked, "Hey how are mom and Kain doing?"
Amy replied, "Not so good, they've been depressed when mom felt that you disappeared from this world." Renee took in what Amy told her and decided to use the Whisper to let her mom and Kain know that she was back. In Nosgoth, Kain was standing at the Pillars of Nosgoth with Kelly who was still grieving over her daughter's loss. Suddenly that white light appeared around both of them.
Renee said, "Mom, Kain are you there? It's Renee."
Kelly gasped, "Renee? Is that really you?"
Renee replied, "Yes, it is. I'm back from the dead."
Kain said, "I thought you were gone forever."
Renee chuckled, "Come on, Kain you know something like that can't keep me down."
The Scion of Balance replied, "What were you doing your time away from the realm of the living?"
The dark blue-haired vampire told him, "Training with Raziel in the Spectral Realm. My yokai has increased dramatically as a result. Just to let you know the Balance Emblem has been fully restored. It's whole again."
Kain smiled, "That's wonderful news, Renee. Have you combined the wraith Reaver with its physical twin?"
Renee shook her head, "No, not yet. But I'll let you know when I have."
Kain nodded, "Alright. It's great to have back with us, Renee."
Renee stated, "Same here. Bye for now." Renee ends the conversation and Kain and Kelly were relieved that Renee was back. That night at Youkai Academy Renee moved into her room again and saw that Amy took good care of it while she was gone. Amy moved into a room on the left next to Renee's. Renee put the Reaver into the glass casing on along with her gauntlets. Next she slipped out of her school attire and into her nightgown then went to her bed to sleep. In an underground base in Nosgoth, miles away from the ruined Pillars, the Hylden Lord received news about Fred's failure.
He said, "So Fred Helens has been killed at the hands of Renee Steinberg?"
His minion nodded, "That is correct, Master. Renee has returned from the dead and she has finally restored the Balance Emblem talisman."
The Hylden Lord slammed his fist on the table, "If she combines the Reaver with its ethereal twin then we're done for. I can't forget the time when Kain killed me with the Soul Reaver 1,000 years ago! Renee and her friends must be stopped! If the Pillars of Nosgoth are restored then our kind will be banished from this land again! I think it's time we pay this Youkai Academy a visit."
A/N: Chapter 13 part 2 done. Well, Renee's back and better than ever. I gave her Blue Eyes White Dragon form two additional forms: Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon and Blue Eyes Shinning Dragon since they're both badass forms of the Blue Eyes White Dragon.
I added genetically augmented human opponents for Tsukune and his friends.
In case for those who are wondering, in Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen 2 in the final chapter of the game the Hylden City, Kain has a final battle with the Hylden Lord and manages to destroy him with the Soul Reaver and the power of the Nexus Stone that Kain tossed into the Hylden Gate before his fight destroys the Gate and as a result the Hylden were banished to the demon dimension.
Looks like the Hylden are making their move. How will Renee and the gang overcome this next predicament?
In the scene where Renee makes her return, I would've added either Kane's first theme Burned or the Undertaker's Bells and Thunder them to make it creepy and it'd also spell certain doom to the opponent.
Read and review
Stick around for chapter 14.
